Since the beginning, human beings have sought shelter,
and the Earth has provided it. With the passing of time,
however, we have built more and more sophisticated
dwellings and have forgotten to watch over our one true
home -
Planet Earth.
A way of looking after our planet is by promoting
ecotourism. We need to motivate ecotourists, those
adventure-seekers who are always looking for ways to
spend as much time as possible in touch with nature.
They want to see nature!
From this wish stems the need for Ecolodging. With this
type of accommodation, ecotourists, rather than imposing
their presence on nature, become fully integrated with
natural surroundings.. |

The main characteristics of ecolodges include the
following:
• Ecolodges are built with native materials, allowing
for the harmonious integration of landscapes and people.
• Builders use eco-techniques that save energy and water.
• Ecolodges have implemented garbage separation systems
and septic tanks for wastewater disposal, as well as
composting technologies.
• They seek to create awareness of ecological matters
and promote ecological activities among their guests.
• They show a continued social commitment to local
communities.
In keeping with our commitment to protect the
environment, we have included a list of the main
Ecolodges in our country. We will see to it that new
names are added to the list from year to yearo..
